Much To Do About Writing.
This is my journal about my experiences and thoughts on writing, with particular reference to writing for children and the education market, but maybe a few other things mixed in.

After such a good innings in June, I seemed to have slacked off! For those of you still visiting my blog, I apologise for this. It has been over a month now since I blogged anything. And you thought I was rubbish at maths. LOL!

But, I have no excuse. It is not due to lack of material. I have still two workshops from the SCBWI retreat to post and I went to the Write Away Annual Conference way back in May and took absolutely loads of notes, not to mention the SCBWI Professional series meetings.

Also I recently got back from the Writers' Holiday at Caerleon www.writersholiday.net This is an excellent place to go to meet people interested in writing, not necessarily children's writing though and there is a great atmosphere. Whilst I was there I had a stab at writing erotica on Mitzi Szereto's course. I quite surprised myself.

I have loads to blog about.

So, now I am another year older (and by the look of my latest picture I am most definitely putting on all the weight I lost) I will endeavour to do better and start blogging again.

About Me

I write illustrated children's fiction and non-fiction and teacher resources for primary school. I also have two regular monthly columns in the national writing magazine, Writers' Forum, one about writing for children and the other about writers and their research. I teach creative writing and do lots of school visits.
